  NOTE TO FSOG HATERS: 


After reading comments and listening to reviews:

It is UnFuckingBelievable that folks that have never read Fifty Shades of Grey, much less cracked open ANY book, find it necessary to comment on a movie that they haven't seen, nor books they've NEVER read. The books weren't just about BDSM and sex.

The APPEAL of the Got Dang story...was the dynamic between the two characters (Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele) and finding each other literally by fate. In addition to that;  the fact that a powerful, sexy, stoic billionaire, who wanted nothing to do with love, was brought to his knees by a woman many wouldn't believe could be the one to melt the ice around his heart, break his cold exterior and make him fall into that DEEP crazy ass love. Their passion, which was "contractual" in the beginning, was just icing on the cake. 

And to those who've read the books, yet; attempt to be condescending to other folks who read it and liked it...get over yourselves. In case you didn't know......

Fifty Shades of Grey‬ wasn't written to be a fucking literary classic, it was meant to be a fun read.

Btw...E.L. James is laughing all the way to the bank...as well she should. Cha...Ching!

PRAYERS FOR BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN

 photo 3c0cd7ae-6ee9-43b2-93e0-e99ddd584720_zpsgslp02yf.png


Bobbi Kristina remains on life support after being found in her bathtub several days ago. Her father, Bobby Brown, and family friend, Tyler Perry have been by her bedside. There have been conflicting reports on whether Bobby Brow was advised to remove his daughter from life support because there was nothing more the doctors could do. This has yet to be confirmed.

Sources say the family has gathered in Atlanta. I continue to pray for Bobbi Kristina and for her family.


 Oprah learns of Bobbi Kristina's condition:

Book of the Month: [February 2015] THE SELECTION [Book One] By Kiera Cass

 photo 20e01182-69e6-4d4d-8eee-488f7a1772e1_zpsygfpgdpa.png



I'm hyped about the book of the month choice for February. I've heard nothing but good things about this series and the reviews have been stellar. The February 2015 book of the month pick is the novel The Selection, by Kiera Cass.

The Selection is a story about a girl named America. Set in a dystopian period, America is about to enter into a world that she really doesn't care to be a part of. This is a story about the journey America embarks on; that thrusts her into the competitive "selection" process that will decide who will win the heart of Prince Maxon. Sounds a bit interesting...especially given the dystopian vibe. Can't wait to find out what happens.

The Selection series currently consists of four books and three novellas.



The Selection Series in Order:

THE SELECTION - Book One

The Prince - Book One Novella

THE ELITE  - Book Two

The Guard - Book Two Novella

THE ONE - Book Three

The Queen - Book Three Novella

THE HEIR - Book Four - Releases May 5, 2015


As always...happy reading!

THE SELECTION By Kiera Cass Amazon Link



 Synopsis via Amazon:
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks. Then America meets Prince Maxon.

Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

Game Day: Super Bowl XLIX - Patriots vs Seahawks

 photo 64b5871b-7ddb-41f8-8c58-fcb044530f5c_zps5xpsis80.png 

Arizona is playing host to the biggest game of the year, the Super Bowl. Super Bowl XLIX (49) to be exact. The New England Patriots will go head to head with the Seattle Seahawks today. So, it is time to kick back with your friends and family, get your drink on, your eat on and tune in to the showdown.

Katy Perry will be the half-time act. But of course, last and surely not least, the commercials. The commercials are just as much a part of the Super Bowl as the game itself. Some would prob beg to differ. With all that being said....


Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
